SSID
Identifier of Wi-Fi network.
Broadcast SSID
Method of broadcasting the unique identifier of SSID network in bea-
con frame and type of response to a request for sending the beacon
frame.
•
Enabled – SSID is broadcasted in beacon frame.
•
Zero length – Beacon frame does not include SSID. Requests for send-
ing beacon frame are ignored.
•
Clear – Every SSID character in beacon frame is replaced by 0.Original
length is kept. Requests for sending beacon frame are ignored.
Country code
Code of the country, where the router is used with Wi-Fi. This code
must be entered in format
ISO 3166-1 alpha-2
. If country code is not
specified and the router has implemented no system to determine this
code, “US” becomes the default country code.
If no country code is specified or the wrong country code is entered,
then it may come a pass a breach of regulatory rules for the using of
frequency bands in the particular country.
HW model
HW mode of Wi-Fi standard that will be supported by Wi-Fi access
point.
•
IEE 802.11b
•
IEE 802.11b+g
•
IEE 802.11b+g+n
Channel
The channel on which the WiFi AP is transmitting.
BW 40 MHz
The choice for HW mode 802.11n that allows using two standard
20MHz channels simultaneously.
